Ambardia's world map at a glance looks quite small. There is a main island as well as some other smaller patches of land surrounding it, but the real action happens elsewhere. The game features many exciting dungeons and cool mini-worlds like the new Magic Garden (super generic name) featuring 250 connected maps and many dungeons and quests.
Ambardia also brings tons of updates to the table. The team is constantly adding new quests, areas, and features to keep the game nice and fresh. The features range from a simple trade skill system to the new bounty hunting system where you can hunt down the evilest bad guys Ambardia has to offer and return with their heads.
Overall it is a great gameplay experience, and quests keep you moving, it's just you have to explore a bit to find everything. There is a bit of grinding here and there, but it is all fun and new. I have it give it:
Gameplay: 8/10
In Ambardia, you play as a traditional hero on a quest to bring peace to the world and do odd jobs for farmers and soldiers that can't do it themselves. I have to give it credit though because the game does feature a nice storyline and some really cool quests, but the main thing I like is the world.

Graphics
The game is nice and clean and not just packed with detail, but the graphics can be distracting at times, looking like a scaled now model of some Nintendo 64 game as well as being quick choppy in animation.
The interface is really really, plain, simple, and once again, not their graphics. The upcoming main menu looks promising, but really I want to see how the in-game interface looks. Overall, everything is a mix, which it shouldn't be. I'm ok with games that don't use their own graphics, but please, stick with one style:
Graphics: 5/10
Umm, sorry, not a huge fan. I completely despise games that mix graphics styles and this game it full of it. Some sprites are 3d rendered, some are made to look 3d, some buildings are realistic, some look really strange, and the items, none of them follow a specific style. The graphics are taken from many different sources, but the game still does pull off a nice look.

Multiplayer
The community in Ambardia is nice and as I said before there is a lot to do together like dungeons, bosses, and tons of quests. Still, I don't think the game has reached their full potential. Ambardia seriously needs a party system and a way better guild system. There is no new programming for both of those, keeping them extremely simple. You can create parties with a few commands and guilds with some "F" keys, but I want more visual stuff.
Ambardia also has too much of a level gap. When I played, there were some people who were utter noobs and all the rest were too high of a level to care about anyone else. Overall I found this game kinda a drag since I play mostly alone. Still, I have to give it props for its group oriented gameplay:
Multiplayer: 6/10

Overall
Ambardia is a good game, not a great one, but good. There is always new content, but it takes a bit to gain up enough levels to play it. Graphics are hard to ingnore (not in a good way) and multiplayer isn't seen much, but it still supports some nice gameplay.
Overall: 6.5/10
Pass, unless fond of 2d MMO's and can ignore the graphics
*Lots of new content
*Cool Quest System
*Big World
*Small Community
*Few Party and Guild Features
*Too big of a level gap
